The gardens of the Royal Hospital Chelsea were transformed into a midsummer night's dream for the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust Ball. As guests got stuck into the champagne, Harry Lopes became so enthusiastic about the ice sculpture that he managed to break it. After everyone had dined on guinea fowl while being serenaded by musical theatre boy band Teatro, attention turned to the auction. Jo Bamford won three pigs and Luke Hawkesbury a dinner with Tom Parker Bowles. Crack shots Ed van Cutsem and Wenty Beaumont concentrated on the shooting-duck stand and belle of the ball Clare Iveagh ruled the dancefloor. With £90,000 raised, it was a successful night all round.
